Recycling at RSU Student Hostels
Why recycle?
- Waste is converted into valuable secondary materials that can be used to make new things;
- We conserve natural resources by preserving petroleum products, wood and other resources for future generations, and significantly reducing water and energy consumption;
- We save space at landfill sites – only waste that really cannot be recycled should be sent there;
- We save money, because recycled waste is collected and recycled free of charge, while the cost of removing and disposing of unsorted waste increases every year;
- We protect the environment and ecology because when waste gets into nature or is disposed of improperly (e.g. by burning), it causes significant pollution and poses a health risk;
- We make the nature around us more beautiful without bottles by the roadside or polythene bags stuck in tree branches;
- We show our attitude for the future of the planet so that not only we, but our children and grandchildren can live green and healthy lives.
